Presidio Sports is excited to announce a new promotional campaign with Santa Barbara Brewing Company that will raise money to provide at least two scholarships for next summer’s local Junior Lifeguard program.

Starting this week with Olympic champion beach volleyball player Todd Rogers, a local celebrity will predict the winners of NFL football games. Each correct pick will trigger a donation that will accumulate throughout the season.

The picks will be posted online each week and will also appear in the print weekly Santa Barbara Sentinel.

Local volleyball legend Todd Rogers is first up to the plate this week. Rogers just left for an international tournament in China, but will be in Santa Barbara making a public appearance at the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table’s Fall Classic on Wednesday, October 30.

Check back on Thursday when we reveal Todd’s picks.

The promotion will provide at least two scholarships for the seven-week summer camp that promotes fitness and an active lifestyle. For over 40 years, the Santa Barbara Junior Lifeguard program has helped develop youth with strenuous daily workouts, water safety, first aid, surf lifesaving, marine education, lifeguard competitions and more. Physical fitness and development are balanced with self-esteem and camaraderie.

Next week’s predictions will be handled by professional surfer Lakey Peterson.
